Why organized medicine wants to outlaw nutrition and turn healers into
criminals
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor

How about some truth for a change about the Food Supplements Directive
in the European Union? The proponents of this directive say that it's
about protecting patients from all these dangerous vitamins, minerals,
supplements, plant extracts and antioxidants that are so dangerous for
people. They say, "We're going to keep you safe!" Let me tell you what
I think. It's an attempt to outlaw nutrition. It is an attempt to
criminalize those who would offer nutritional products that can
actually prevent and even treat chronic diseases.
Why would anyone want to do this? Well, look at what it's trying to
ban. One of the things it's trying to ban is tocotrienols, which are
various forms of vitamin E. These are naturally occurring antioxidants
that are found in the plant world. You can find them in whole grains,
nuts, seeds and a variety of different plants. Why would they want to
ban these ingredients and make it a crime to sell these to people?

Well, think about it folks. These ingredients prevent chronic disease
better than prescription drugs, without the side effects, and without
the profitability of prescription drugs. If people really knew just
how much they could prevent chronic disease with these plant extracts,
medicinal herbs, vitamins, minerals, and supplements, the
pharmaceutical industry would collapse overnight.

The defenders of "Big Pharma" and of organized medicine have realized
that they can't win the information war. They can't prevent people
from finding out how to be healthy. Believe me, they've tried! They've
tried through censorship, oppression, influence, and even attempts to
regulate medical information on the internet. They have tried to
create a total blackout of information, but they've failed. Thank God
we live in a (relatively) free society where the internet still
operates and people have access to independent information. As people
are increasingly finding out that prescription drugs actually kill
you, while vitamins, nutrients, and plant-based supplements actually
save your life, organized medicine had to go to Plan B. Plan B is to
outlaw nutrition, which is what the European Union Food Supplements
Directive is all about.

Let's take this one step further here. Let’s assume they succeed in
outlawing this nutrition. It's suddenly illegal to buy any amount of
vitamin C over 50 mg, for example. It's illegal to buy various
minerals, such as vanadium or boron. It becomes illegal to buy
tocotrienols, or other antioxidants derived from plants. Well, what's
the next step? It is, of course, to outlaw medicinal foods entirely!

Can you imagine a world in which it would be illegal to purchase and
consume garlic? It sounds ridiculous, right? You say, "Oh, come on,
that's just exaggeration!" But is it really? Garlic is one of the most
medicinally potent foods in the world. This is a product that prevents
and treats topical and internal cancers. Raw garlic juice is one of
the most potent anti-cancer supplements you can consume. You can go to
a grocery store right now, buy garlic, and make this yourself. This is
more powerful than many drugs out there. It's a broad-spectrum
antibiotic. It's antiviral, antibacterial, anti-cancer and anti-tumor.
This is an amazing healing food.

Would they try to outlaw that? Right now, they're trying to outlaw
extracts from different plants. It's only a small step for them to
actually outlaw these foods. You'd have to have a prescription to buy
garlic. It would be a controlled substance, and if you grew it in your
own garden, you'd be arrested as a criminal. Don't believe me? Just
try to grow omega-3-rich hemp seeds in your backyard and see how long
it takes for the DEA to show up at your doorstep.

You have a great number of foods out there that actually treat, not
just prevent, chronic diseases. Molasses, for one, is a nutrient-rich
sweetener. It's made from the byproduct of whole grain processing. If
people ate more molasses or used it in their cooking or their oatmeal,
they would get more B vitamins, more magnesium, more zinc. They would
be healthier. We'd see a drop in the rate of Alzheimer's disease,
nervous system disorders, and behavioral disorders, such as Attention
Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and other so called "behavioral
diseases."

You may think it sounds crazy that these foods would some day be
banned. But I think it's crazy to ban extracts of these foods. They're
trying to ban these natural ingredients right now. Beyond the fact
that I think it is unethical to do so, it is a crime against humanity
to restrict people from access to the gifts provided by Mother Nature.
As human beings, we have a God-given right to eat plants, to use the
medicinal herbs found in our natural environment, and to heal
ourselves using these gifts provided by nature. I believe any attempt
to criminalize our connection with nature is itself a crime, and
should be treated as such.

Nutrition is bad for you, didn't you know?
The Food Supplements Directive (in Europe) and this whole effort by
the FDA (in the U.S.) to outlaw certain medicinal herbs and eventually
nutritional supplements is based on the outlandish premise that
prescription drugs are good for you and nutrition is bad for you. This
is such a reversal of reality that it's absolutely astounding they can
get away with even talking about it without being laughed off of the
television show or radio interview.
If you think about it, prescription drugs are what's killing people.
Prescription drugs are extremely dangerous, even according to the
statistics put out by organized medicine. We have one class of drugs,
Cox-2 inhibitors, which, all by itself, is responsible for at least
144,000 heart attacks in the United States alone. Over 40 percent of
those are fatal. The FDA admitted all of this information, yet said,
"That's not dangerous enough for us. Let's put this drug back on the
market." They rubber-stamped it "APPROVED BY THE FDA." This is now
safe for consumption, according to the FDA.

Meanwhile, a Chinese herb, ma huang, or "Ephedra," as it's better
known, is blamed for the death of a few dozen individuals who
overdosed like crazy trying to lose weight. A few dozen people and the
FDA said, "This is dangerous! We have to take this off the market!
It's unregulated. It's a Chinese herb. It will kill you!" It is now a
crime to sell Ephedra. They're criminalizing medicinal herbs, while
legalizing the drugs that kill you. This is what's going on today.

It's really about control
There's a lot at stake here -- a lot of power, control, and, of
course, a whole lot of money. The people at the top of organized
medicine's hierarchy, the FDA, the American Medical Association, top
doctors, surgeons, hospitals, and so on, have all realized that if
nutrition succeeds, and if people become educated about how to prevent
disease through simple, easily available foods, then they are going to
lose a lot of money. They're going to lose a lot of patients, whom
they're depending on. You have drug companies looking at the coming
wave of Alzheimer's and jumping up and down with joy, thinking, "Look
how many customers we're going to have. Let's come up with an
Alzheimer's drug!" Research then comes out showing that Alzheimer's
drugs cause dementia. Yes, it's true. Pain drugs cause heart attacks,
antidepressant drugs cause people to pick up automatic weapons and
blow away their classmates; you can just go on down the list. These
drugs are designed to treat disease and improve people's lives but
they only destroy lives. Nevertheless, that doesn't stop the drug
companies from being excited about the opportunity to sell these drugs
to people.
It's all about selling the drugs. Really, the FDA is just one
gatekeeper by which these drugs can be sold. The FDA is being
exploited and controlled by drug companies. The FDA rubber-stamps
drugs that are highly toxic and extremely dangerous. These drugs
continue to be sold to people all around the world at ridiculously
high prices. It's a big scam, and there's big money at stake.

That's why they've got to attack nutritional supplements. They've got
to outlaw vitamin C, vitamin E, and minerals that prevent disease.
They've got to criminalize them. Their strategy right now is to
protect the profits of the pharmaceutical industry. This whole Food
Supplements Directive in Europe is really nothing more than an attempt
to protect profits. By doing that, they're committing a crime against
humanity, in my belief. They're trying to say that it should be
illegal for people to choose foods, medicines, ...

Its not they don't have enough authority rather they choose

Incorrect. They do not have enough authority. DSHEA.

Rubbish. The DSHEA is a great thing.-

The passage of DSHEA was riddled with clear conflict of interest of
Orrin Hatch of Utah, which was, at that time, a major manufacture
state of supplements. Hatch's son has been a lobbyist for supplement
manufacturers.

And, DSHEA gutted the FDA and FTC's authority. Said gutting lead to
the death of a son of a friend of ours.

No laws are perfect. And all laws are made like sausage.
As to the death, it likely was an ephredra related.
Many of those who ran it problem i.e. death very took large
doses. Ephredra is in a class of drugs that have
a NARROW safety margin. It has been use to
good effect in persons with COPD in the past.
Though it had a dose standardisation issue.
Taking it as stimulant is not a wise action and
a clear misuse of it drug action.
Even the relatively safe stimulant caffeine
gets people into the hospital all the time.
I still say the "gutting" was a VERY good
thing overall. Remember Tylenol like products
have been damaging people for decades and
it still lacks black box warning.

I daily use materials that are preserved by DSHEA.
And they make a huge difference in my personal
quality of life and the effects are profound. We can
discuss specifics if you want. I can put a face
to the value of the DSHEA just as Mark seeks
to put a face to a specific (now banned) supplement's
risk.

Can we imagine ethanol and coffee/caffeine making
it to the market in the modern world? The
nervous nellies would have surely ban them.
As they in fact did over the objections of others.

I do agree to an extent that herbal substances
can contain powerful drugs and one needs to
be informed and take it slow. Nonetheless, it
can be useful to have an end run around
big pharma the ignorant MDs. And I
must admit most of my end runs haven't been
herbal but rather hormonal i.e. melatonin and
nutrient like i.e. betaine HCL. Just to mention
two items. Nonetheless the FDA has messed
with flavonoids in the past even though
they quite benign materials. They have
sought at times to restrict vitamin levels
in supplements to very low levels. There
is a history Mark and mainstream media
ignore of bad deeds by the FDA past. The
FDA banned folinic acid in the past.
Now it is the favored form of the vitamin
for some with a common metabolic defect.
Albeit it is under a new name and under
a patent by Merck as I recall. And though
it is available (again) OTC which is good.

leave it to a lawyer or ex-lawyer
to imagine more regulation is
the solution..................................Trig- Hide quoted text -

I lied.

The simple fact is that there is no cover-up regarding asbestos. In
the
1980's, under AHERA, schools nationwide removed tons of it.
Construction
companies were forced to perform abatement before renovations or
demolition.
There is no doubt that there are very sick people with asbestosis and
mesothelioma who were exposed to asbestos. I meet several of them
every
month and can usually find some documentation of their possible
exposure so
they can recevie WC benefits.

Backj in the 1950's and 1960's, there was no idea that asbestos
exposure
could be so dangerous. During WWII boat builders at the Navy Yards
were
routinely exposed to it, brought the dust home, and exposed their
families.
No one knew.

When I was in elementary school, I received a kit from a group in
Canada,
where asbestos was mined, called "Asbestos-The Magic Mineral." I
brought it
to school for a science project. No one knew.

Once the dangers became known, precautions were put in place, and,
eventually, abatement was begun. There is far less asbestos in our
environment to day, and HULDA CLARK HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT!

Anyone claiming that there was a cover-up is an liar.

When someone proffers an idea, it is their burden to prove it.

Lilly Says New ADHD Drug Effective Wed May 22,12:08 PM ET By Jed Seltzer
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Drugmaker Eli Lilly and Co. on Wednesday said that
late-stage tests of its experimental treatment for attention deficit
hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) showed it to be as effective as standard
therapies, with fewer troublesome safety risks.
The drug, called atomoxetine, may offer an alternative to current
medicines,
such as Novartis AG's Ritalin (news - web sites), which have been
associated
with overstimulation and the potential for abuse.
Data on the drug, gathered from trials of children and adults were
presented
at a meeting of the American Psychiatric Association in Philadelphia.
Both
trials showed the drug was significantly more effective than a placebo
in
reducing symptoms of ADHD -- such as inability to sustain attention,
restlessness, and impulsiveness.
The results put atomoxetine's results on par with Ritalin and other
medicines.
"The children's trial looked at those traditional issues of attention
deficit hyperactivity disorder and showed efficacy that put it as a
logical
and equal alternative with any existing treatment," said Dr. Calvin
Sumner,
a researcher with Lilly.
Among children ages 6 to 11, the drug showed on average a 13.3-point
reduction on a common scale of symptoms, compared with about a 4.7-point
reduction with placebo, Lilly said. In children ages 12 to 18, the drug
demonstrated on average a 13.3-point reduction on the scale, compared
with
about a 6.9-point reduction with placebo. The results represented a
statistically significant difference, Sumner said.
Mark, do they ever do comparison with the new drugs to the ones presently
being used? I'd be curious to know the differences in the reduction of
ADHD symptoms between this new drug and one like Ritalin. In other words,
does "new" mean better?
[/quote:0129c21fbe]

Sometimes, yes. It does eliminate the stigma that the anti-med morons
like
to lay on people. If it eliminates the need for monthly prescriptions,
that
does mean BETTER.

As for head to head tests, the article said:


"In earlier clinical trials, atomoxetine compared well with
methylphenidate.
Although Lilly has not conducted head-to-head studies, previous tests
of
atomoxetine included a small group of patients treated with
methylphenidate."


They do conduct these tests, but that is down the road.


The rest of the article does say 'better' AFAIAC.

Has your ADHD diagnosis been confirmed by any *biological* tests that
showed



[quote:0129c21fbe]the abnormality of your brain? If not, your claim to having ADHD is no
more valid than a claim of those who say they have seen UFOs. Doesn't it
fly in the face on any reason, that the so-called biological psychiatry has
absolutely no biological proof to any of it's claims?
[/quote:0129c21fbe]

There are several **medical** conditions that have no clinical
findings, do not show up on x-rays or scans, and have no laboratory
tests that demonstrate that they actually exist. Does this mean that
they do not exist?

With regard to the line between nutrients and

is an essential amino acid, so there is a nutritional
requirement for it. Usually that comes from a
balanced source of amino acids, like meat or eggs.
But when that one amino acid is isolated by itself
and used for a specific non-nutritional purpose
like as an aid to sleep, it's being used as a drug.
(Tryptophan is a precursor to important
neurotransmitters.) Pure tryptophan supplements
and other isolated "nutrients" with claimed specific
drug-like uses should be regulated as drugs. That
would have prevented the epidemic of eosinophilic
myalgia caused by tryptophan supplements 20 years
ago.

Of course not. That's why anyone bringing a new product
to market should call it a "dietary supplement" or
"nutrient" instead. Boyd Haley, for instance, has
discovered that a chemical used for cleaning up
Superfund sites is a nutrient and is marketing it
as such, with the usual wink and nudge about how it
might chelate vaccine-induced toxins from children.

His safety trials consisted of his cat and some

That was a peak X problem. An impurity.
Nothing is without problems. Simply banning the product was wrong,
demanding purity would have been the right move. Indeed there is form
of this
product on the market. Moreover, it remained in use in baby formula
and as a prescription item.
The problem manufacturer is said to have
changed it process.

Standard foods are risky, for example.
wheat and gluten products. That not
a reason to make them prescription items.
Indeed, a relaxing of regulation on bread
would result in relatively healthier products i.e. high bran breads.
High bran breads for those who
tolerate gluten are a relatively good way to prevent
and TREAT certain GI tract problems.

I can see it now prescription bread.

And as to vitamin E interfering in drug
metabolism, it is the tocopherol form that
is the most active when compare to tocotrienol
in altering drug metabolism according to some research
and it takes a really whopping dose in this animal model.

The tocopherol forms do not activate the SXR
receptor and the cascade of xenobiotic clearance
mechanisms it controls.  The tocotrienols do
activate SXR, and that is why they are a risk.

If you don't understand that, you are completely
clueless with regard to the hazard of taking
tocotrienols.  And that's precisely why you need
to be protected from yourself.  Even if you don't
want this protection, there's lots of other people
who might believe the line used to sell tocotrienols
who do need this protection.  Tocotrienols inevitably
will cause considerable mischief if made widely
available to the public.

Sounds like this "mischief" can be used to good advantage, if strategized
correctly.
Xenophobia is not nec a bad thing.
Thus, Trig's point about who the real "culprit" is (drugs or trienols)
remains valid.

The following suggests a dose of tocotrienol is between
200 and 1000 milligrams is safe though research on the
the potential liver problems in the murine model is more recent.

And some of the issues mentioned in this article
may relate to vitamin E lowering vitamin K levels.
One of the reasons I am of the opinion taking
a vitamin K supplement along vitamin E supplementation
is prudent.
And if one lives were vitamin K isn't OTC, cooking
greens with butter maybe helpful. Parsley and
cilantro in both salads and cooking are ways
to increase K1 in the diet. Most get pitifully
small amounts of any form of vitamin K in their
diet. There is evidence that the vitamin K generated
in the gut is unavailable to a great extent in humans
as I recall. Though there are exceptions i.e. fermented
soy, natto.

Thanks for the info. I like the natural K put out by Life Extension.
I agree that this is a very overlooked nutrient in our fast food
society.

Tocotrienols: the emerging face of natural vitamin E.

Sen CK, Khanna S, Rink C, Roy S.

Laboratory of Molecular Medicine, Department of Surgery, Davis Heart
and Lung Research Institute,
The Ohio State University Medical Center,
Columbus, Ohio 43210, USA.

Natural vitamin E includes eight chemically distinct molecules:
alpha-, beta-, gamma-, and delta-tocopherols and alpha-, beta-,
gamma-, and delta-tocotrienols.

More than 95% of all studies on vitamin E are directed
toward the specific study  of alpha-tocopherol. The other
forms of natural vitamin E remain poorly understood.
The abundance of alpha-tocopherol in the human body
and the comparable efficiency of all vitamin E molecules
as antioxidants led biologists to neglect the non-tocopherol
vitamin E molecules as topics for basic and clinical
research. Recent developments warrant a serious
reconsideration of this conventional wisdom.
The tocotrienol subfamily of natural vitamin E
possesses powerful neuroprotective, anticancer, and
cholesterol-lowering properties that are often not
exhibited by tocopherols. Current developments
in vitamin E research clearly indicate that members
of the vitamin E family are not redundant
with respect to their biological functions.
alpha-Tocotrienol, gamma-tocopherol, and delta-tocotrienol
have emerged as vitamin E molecules with functions
in health and disease that are clearly distinct from
that of alpha-tocopherol. At nanomolar concentration,
alpha-tocotrienol, not alpha-tocopherol, prevents
neurodegeneration. On a concentration basis, this
finding represents the most potent of all biological
functions exhibited by any natural vitamin E molecule.
Recently, it has been suggested that the safe dose
of various tocotrienols for human consumption is
200-1000/day. A rapidly expanding body of evidence
supports  that members of the vitamin E family
are functionally unique. In recognition of
this fact, title claims in publications should be limited
to the specific form of vitamin E studied. For example,
evidence for toxicity of a specific form of
tocopherol in excess may not be used to conclude
that high-dosage "vitamin E" supplementation may
ncrease all-cause mortality. Such conclusion incorrectly
implies that tocotrienols are toxic as well under
conditions where tocotrienols
were not even considered. The current state of knowledge warrants
strategic investment into the lesser known forms of vitamin E.
This will enable prudent selection of the appropriate vitamin
E molecule for studies addressing a specific
health need.

Excellent article in New England Journal of Medicine
about contamination in the severly underregulated
dietary supplements business.  Many products contain
dangerous, unapproved drugs, and yet the public is
largely unaware how bad the situation is.  A majority
of the public and even a third of medical students
wrongly believe that supplements have to be approved
by a government agency.

http://healthcarereform.nejm.org/?p=2017&query=home

The dietary supplement industry is a dirty business,
sorely in need of reform.

Ha unapproved drugs they call them. I'll bet
they include alot of perfectly safe ingredients
in their list of "unapproved drugs,"
I wouldn't trust most proposed reforms other than
perhaps a bit more funding and monitoring to prevent
pharma drugs and toxics being slipped in by
crooks.

I would like to see:

1. Mandatory reporting of all adverse events, lawsuits, etc.

2. Complete disclosure of all ingredients, and banning the term
"Proprietary bland" etc.

3. Requirement that there be some standard of efficacy.

For starters.

The last requirement is evil, wicked, and corrupt
when one looks how the EU is doing it regulation of
supplements.

I usully try to ignore the EU since there is enough action here.

It is all to easy for government to

deny, drag their feet, and ignore the science and
then demand excessive levels of evidence and/or
wring their hands about safety to the point of
absolute stupidity.

That is precisely what the FDA wrt Thalidomide.

 Vitamins and nutrients are not drugs.

However, when medical claims are made, they have to be substantiated
by something more than saleshype.

Understand putting something on the market without
a clear claim should be an option as well.

Caveat emptor.

I do agree their should be full content disclosure.
And I believe the US FDA already has the power on that
point if they chose to exercise it.

No, they do not. I have had this issue with the FDA and FTC and
they do not have it.

FDA may not have unique enforcement over supplements, but they have
the power to warn the public about products (herbs, for instance) they
consider potentially harmful.  For example, Kava.   Why isn't FDA
warning about more than a tiny percentage of supplements?  

Most supplements are "do nothings", thus neither harmful or
beneficial for most people. The FDA, wisely, stays out of this
quagmire.

False.  Most dietary supplements are designed to improve overall
nutritional status and do so.  The term "do nothing" more aptly
describes prescription drugs which, except for their ability to cause
dangerous side effects, fail to treat or prevent almost any disease.
If I'm wrong, where is the published evidence?  Oh, that's right.  You
don't believe in the medical literature.

It's because, despite decades of use by the public, there is little
evidence of harm exceeding low-level allergic reactions in the vast
majority of such products.  Even Kava is not proven to be harmful in
isolation from pre-existing hepatic disease or the use of alcohol.  As
for FTC, it's scope of powers combined with DSHEA does provide a
framework for safety that has been working just fine.   Your sponsors
may not like it, but that's too bad.

http://groups.google.com/group/sci.med/msg/f569f86c8ed22f4e-

Prove I have sponsors. Oh, that is right, I gave you the opportunity
to do so, and make some money while doing it, and you weaseled
out of it.

Your own words prove it.  As someone famously once said, "You cannot
serve two masters."

Correct. I serve the truth.

Now, prove I have any other motivation.

Cue the weaseling.

The weaseling begins with your inability (or unwillingness) to answer
a question. You did not respond to the following point:
